I grew up learning to sew because of my mom, grandma, and various family friends. I remember sewing doll quilts, an ugly stuffed animal “wolf”, and fabric dolls among other things. While in college I did more construction and sewing like fully lined curtains and padded head boards, and since I have been out of school most of my projects were baby shower gifts from burp cloths to floor poufs. I have always done some minor fixes to clothing like shortening a dress, making a pillow case smaller, or sewing on buttons but nothing crazy intensive. I also learned lots of other things like crocheting and knitting, but lately I have been on a sewing kick. I have been wanting to expand my skills since I feel in the area of clothing construction I am still in the beginning stages. My mom taught me to be resourceful, take things one step at a time and believe that I can accomplish things when I set my mind to them.  Below are pictures and information about the jacket that I sewed.
